(b) If the terms of a trust confer upon a person other than the settlor of a revocable trust power to direct certain actions of the trustee, the trustee shall act in accordance with an exercise of the power.
(c) The terms of a trust may confer upon a trustee or other person a power to direct the modification or termination of the trust.
